After watching a recent video of an abandonned tunnel in Pittsburgh US, I decided to have a search for some local areas of interest for urban exploration and discovered this video.

Th "fire" tunnel at the start of the video is called Old Warden Tunnel, a 2 mile derelict train tunnel abandonned in 1964 after the rail cuts.
I have tried walking it's length on several occasions but have had to turn back after failing batteries at about half way (strange). Another weird thing I noticed was that the light at the end never appears to get any closer which is very offputting and plays tricks with your mind. It was pretty unnerving to have my torch go out on 2 occasions after a mile in I can tell you, you are literally left in pitch black conditions with only your imagination to keep you company...

Other locations include a disused WW2 era airbase, a military component storage facility complete with left over stock and a morgue !

I plan on visiting these places over the next few weeks so may test out my new HD video camera and post my exploits. I'm hoping to nab a few military souvenirs too...
